FOLSOM, CA (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Visionary Integration Professionals (VIP) announced the successful launch of a project whose scope included consulting, system integration and deployment of the Bureau of Cannabis Control Online Licensing Application System.
VIP brought deep experience in the deployment of the Accela Civic Platform, a cloud-based, commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) regulatory solution, to the project which also included cloud-based COTS products and world-class website design. VIP leveraged an Agile/SCRUM approach due to an accelerated project timeline.
“The entire team from VIP successfully met the challenge of implementing the Bureau’s licensing system,” said Bureau Chief Lori Ajax. “This was a tremendous effort and we are very excited to launch our on-line licensing system for commercial cannabis activity in California.” The project went live ahead of the CA legislative deadline of January 1, 2018.
The online system manages the process within the State of California for the application of commercial cannabis licenses by distributors, microbusinesses, testing laboratories, retailers and cannabis events.
Applicants may now apply online for both temporary and annual commercial cannabis licenses, track the status of an existing application and submit payments. The licensing portal may be accessed online here: http://online.bcc.ca.gov/.
“It was a historic moment in the nation when California voters passed Proposition 64,” said Jonna Ward CEO of VIP. “VIP is honored to play a significant part in that history.”
